Dutch cyclist Annemiek van Vletuen had an unfortunate turn during the women’s road race at the Olympics on Sunday.
Van Vletuen was looking good with a little under 11 km left in the race as she was leading the field. But coming around a turn, she lost control and flipped her bike, resulting in a nasty crash:

She had gone about 115 km with great success up until that point. Early reports say van Vletuen is on her way to the hospital and regained consciousness.
From @Cyclingnewsfeed: Reports coming through that Van Vleuten is ok and on her way to hospital. No confirmation, but that is some good news
